System Requirements
-------------------
We recommend using high quality server hardware when running Proxmox Backup in
production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can set up
periodic, efficient, incremental :ref:`datastore synchronization <syncjobs>`
from other Proxmox Backup Server instances.
Minimum Server Requirements, for Evaluation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be
used in production.
* CPU: 64bit (*x86-64* or *AMD64*), 2+ Cores
* Memory (RAM): 2 GB RAM
* Hard drive: more than 8GB of space.
* Network card (NIC)
Recommended Server System Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* CPU: Modern AMD or Intel 64-bit based CPU, with at least 4 cores
* Memory: minimum 4 GiB for the OS, filesystem cache and Proxmox Backup Server
daemons. Add at least another GiB per TiB storage space.
* OS storage:
* 32 GiB, or more, free storage space
* Use a hardware RAID with battery protected write cache (*BBU*) or a
redundant ZFS setup (ZFS is not compatible with a hardware RAID
controller).
* Backup storage:
* Use only SSDs, for best results
* If HDDs are used: Using a metadata cache is highly recommended, for example,
add a ZFS :ref:`special device mirror <local_zfs_special_device>`.
* Redundant Multi-GBit/s network interface cards (NICs)
Supported Web Browsers for Accessing the Web Interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To access the server's web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the
following browsers:
* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended Support Release
* Chrome, a release from the current year
* Microsoft's currently supported version of Edge
* Safari, a release from the current year
